ATOM IZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534.882, dated February26, 1895. Application filed June 18 J 1894- Serial No. 514.952. (Nomodel.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT HEINZ, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kingsand State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Atomizer, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved atomizer,which is comparatively simple and durable in construction, and arrangedto cause the spray to cease immediately, whenever the operator releasesthe pressure on the bulb.

The invention consists in certain parts and details, and combinations ofthe same, which will be hereinafter fully described and then pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is asectional side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 2 is aplan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional side elevation ofpart of the improvement; and Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view of the sameon the line 44l of Fig. 3.

The bottle or other vessel A containing the liquid B to be sprayed, isclosed at its month by a suitable stopper C, supporting the liquidraising, air and liquid discharge pipes, all formed integral one withthe other and preferably made of glass, but other suitable material maybe employed. The liquid raising pipe D extends at its lower end within ashort distance of the bottom of the vessel A, and continues at its upperend into the air pipe D, extending through the stopper 0, and curved atits outer end into a horizontal part, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

The outer end of the air pipe D is contracted and formed with adischarge opening D for the escape of the spray. A branch D is formed onthe air pipe D, at or near its bend and outside of the stopper 0, andthis branch D is connected by a suitable coupling E with the flexibletube F connected wit the bulb G.

In the upper end of the liquid raising pipe D is formed a transversepartition D dividing the said pipe from the air pipe D opening into thebranch D and extending centrally Within the air pipe D, to be formed atits outer end with a nozzle D arranged in close proximity to the openingD in the air pipe D. A port D is formed directly above the partition Din the air pipe D, so that a part of the air passing into the said airpipe from the bulb G, at the time the latter is actuated, also passesthrough the port D into the upper end of the vessel A, to press upon theliquid B, to force the latter into and through the liquid raising pipe Dand the liquid discharge pipe D Now, it will be seen that in order touse the atomizer the operator has to press the bulb G in the usualmanner so as toforce air through the branch pipe D into the air pipe D,part of the air passing into the vessel A through the port D as abovedescribed, and part passes along the pipe D to the opening D to meet andpress on the liquid passing through the discharge pipe D so that theliquid is atomized and leaves the opening D in a spray. When theoperator releases the pressure on the bulb G, then the air in the upperpart of the vessel A can readily recede through the port D part of thepipe D and branch pipe D backinto the coupling E, tube F and bulb G, sothat the pressure on the liquid in the liquid raising pipe D is releasedand somewhat diminished, to cause a backflow of the liquid in thedischarge pipe D Thus, as soon as the pressure is released, spraying atthe outer end of the air pipe D ceases. The liquid in the dischargenozzle D recedes about one eighth to one quarter of an inch in anapparatus of the size shown in Fig. 1, whenever the operator releasesthe pressure on the bulb G.

This atomizer is especially serviceable for the use of physicians andothers desiring to spray an affected part of the human body for a shorttime only, in cases where only a single spray is required or desirable.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent-- 1. An atomizer, comprising a pipe formed with abranch adapted for connection with an air bulb, and with an annulartransverse .partition whereby the said pipe is divided into a lower partadapted to serve as a liquid raising pipe, and an upper part adapted toserve as an air pipe, the air pipe being provided with an opening abovethe said partition, and an interior pipe arranged in the said air pipeand communicating with the liquid raising pipe to form a liquiddischarge pipe, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the liquid raising pipe, the air pipe located inthe continuation thereof and having essentially the same diameter, theannular partition separating the liquid raising pipe from the air pipe,the latter being provided with an opening above the partition, and theliquid discharge pipe arranged within the air pipe and communicatingwith the liquid raising pipe, substantially as described.

ALBERT HEINZ.
